Machines and mechanisms can usually exhibit a vibratory behavior during operation since they are formed by deformable solids of non-negligible mass and non-rigid joints. This oscillatory behavior can be shown for transient ...

This paper proposes an analytical solution of the Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem at dead point configurations for any planar one degree of freedom linkage mechanism, with regard to the continuity C n of the motion law. ...

The major scope of this thesis was the improvement of the accuracy of the Pentapod for slow movements. Consequently, all the work was divided into four distinct parts. First of all, the study of the tendency of the gravity ...
